Military Phone Card
Donation Program Goes Public

The Department of Defense announced today 
that any American can now help troops
in contingency operations call home. 
The Defense Department has authorized the
Armed Services Exchanges to sell prepaid 
calling cards to any individual or
organization that wishes to purchase cards 
for troops who are deployed.  
The "Help Our Troops Call Home" program is 
designed to help servicemembers call home 
from Operations Iraqi Freedom and 
Operation Enduring Freedom.

For those wishing to donate a prepaid calling 
card to a military member may log on to any of 
the three Armed Services Exchange web sites:  
Army and Air Force
Exchange Service  

Navy Exchange
Service Command  

Marine Corps Exchange 

Click the :Help Our Troops Call Home" link.  
From there, a prepaid calling card
may be purchased for an individual at his or 
her deployed address or to "any service member"
deployed or hospitalized.

The Armed Services Exchanges will distribute
cards donated to "any service member" through 
the American Red Cross, Air Force Aid
Society and the Fisher House Foundation.

The Armed Services Exchanges operate telephone call 
centers in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and other 
countries and aboard ships; anywhere service-members
are deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom 
and Operation Iraqi Freedom. 
All of these locations stay busy around the clock to 
keep up communication between deployed troops and their 
loved ones. The cards available through the "Help Our
Troops Call Home" program offer the best value for calls 
made from the call centers, never expire, and there are 
no added charges or connection fees.

Individuals and organizations also can show their support to
deployed troops and their families with gift certificates.  
The "Gift of Groceries" program allows anyone to purchase 
commissary gift certificates
or by calling toll free 1 (877) 770-GIFT.  
The Armed Services Exchanges offer the "Gift From the
Homefront" gift certificate for merchandise at these exchange web sites:
or by calling toll free 1 (877) 770-GIFT.  Gift certificates 
may be purchased to be mailed to servicemembers and family members
or will be distributed to any service-member.  Only authorized 
commissary and exchange patrons may redeem the gift certificates 
at military commissaries and exchanges, including those stores 
supporting deployed personnel around the globe.
